I have always wanted to obtain a college degree (maybe some advanced degrees too) I just got put out a semester of college at university becasue of poor grades. I am a single parent of three, in a bad relationship, and have a moocher living off of me while I had been laid off. During this time off I have gotten the moocher out of my home, got a new job paying more and trying to get out of the bad relationship. Anyway, I don't thnk anyone at my University cares about this but will I ever get the chance to go back, finish the 2 semesters I have left, and get accepted into a family and consumer science master program. I have a strong intrest in law and thought about ok if my undergrad sucked, but my masters grades is great, and I can do well on the LSAT can I get a seond chance and the fact that I am minority help. What do you think? (A professor I have told me of this very thing happening to him and look at how well he did for himself).

I think you deserve a second chance even if you have to try taking courses on line. it is cheaper than going to college or university. Talk to somebody at the school and explain what has been happening I am sure they will give you a break. Good Luck!

Nearly all universities have Academic Standards Boards. During my tenure I failed a semester due to familial abuse and was removed for grades. I appealed to the Board, and they are generally very receptive.
One of the best things you can do is go to the University Counseling Center, and speak with a Counselor. Explain the situation to them, and ask them to write a letter of support to have the semester expunged.

Talk to the dean of your college (or of student affairs) or your college advsor. If you show the school what progress you've made, I bet they'll let you back in. You may want to wait to go back until you get out of your bad relationship so there are no more distractions. It looks like you are making good progress on gettng everything straightened out

Persevere. If you're trying to help yourself, people will notice you and help you along.
